Club career

Born in the small town of Seraleng (near Rustenburg),[3] Kodisang was first discovered at the age of ten by Cavin Johnson, then-manager of Platinum Stars.[4] He joined the youth team shortly after, and initially received media attention after an impressive performance at the 2014/15 MultiChoice Diski Challenge tournament, including scoring two goals to lead his team to a comeback win against Orlando Pirates.[3][5]

He was called up to the senior squad for the 2015–16 season, and made his professional debut on 26 August 2015, replacing Robert Ng'ambi after the 85th minute of a 2-0 win against Golden Arrows. At the age of 15 years, 363 days, he became one of the youngest players to ever play in the Premier Soccer League, and the youngest in the past six years.[2]

Kodisang was signed by Portuguese club Sanjoanense on 28 September 2018 on a season-long loan deal.[6] In mid-August 2019, he joined S.C. Braga B.[7]

Kodisang recently signed a loan deal for Moreirense Futebul Club from Braga, who play in the Portuguese second division in the 2022-23 season.

International career

Kodisang was selected to represent the South African national under-17 team at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile,[8] and played in all three matches (against Costa Rica, North Korea and Russia). South Africa, however, got eliminated in the group stage with a record of one draw, two losses.^{[citation needed]}
